Immigration isn't always good for the economy or jobs.

We have an immigration system in this country that not only doesn't work, in many cases it doesn't even make any sense.

I think everybody could agree that our immigration system is broken. We have not told the truth about it.

Immigration comes up, but the issue that is on everybody's mind is the economy.

Immigration is not just compatible with but is a necessary component of economic growth.

Our immigration system is not broken. We don't need, and Congress shouldn't enact, amnesty.

Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people.

I think what we need to do is to have an immigration system where legal immigration is easier.

Immigration is America's No. 1 economic asset. The rest of the world can't do that. We can have every smart person we want, every high-skilled person we want.

Immigration is a good thing. We should make that as easy as possible.
